As well as being a murderer, he has been shown to unhesitatingly plant evidence and lie his ass off. Every case he has ever been involved in needs to be revisited, and any conviction (from speeding tickets and upwards) resulting from his testimony needs to be overturned.
Walter Scott SC Shooting Draws New Scrutiny to Michael Slager's Record
Authorities say they are re-examining past cases and arrests involving North Charleston, South Carolina, police officer Michael Slager in the wake of the shooting death of an unarmed man.
Slager, 33, has been accused of murder in the shooting death of driver Walter Scott, a Saturday confrontation that was captured in a bystanders cellphone footage.
Slager previously was the subject of two citizen complaints, including a September 2013 complaint alleging he used a stun gun on someone for no reason during a burglary investigation, according to city records released by authorities.
Slager was exonerated after a subsequent probe, according to the records.

I agree.
That was about the most evil thing I've ever seen. I saw it once, and that's it. Cannot even look at the video again.
Liar. Planter of evidence. Murderer.
The guy who caught him on video is a hero.
